Botox
BOTOX is an injected prescription medication that temporarily improves the appearance of moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows (glabellar lines), crow’s feet (lateral canthus), and forehead that occur due to the forces when we grind or clench unconsciously during sleep time or consciously during day time when under stress, working, driving or working out.
Aging is inevitable, but thanks to the ever-increasing advancements in anti-aging treatments, you don’t have to look your age. You can escape your fine lines and wrinkles. At SaBaaiGuy in San Francisco, CA, we offer BOTOX for TMJ disorders including jaw pain, stiffness and to reduce and eliminate the Bruxism (excessive grinding of the teeth or clenching of the jaw)
, to combat aging and help you feel and look your best.

COMMON QUESTIONS
The Importance of a Consultation A consultation is an important step in the process of choosing a cosmetic injectable because you will get the advice of an expert. If you are still unsure as to which of these cosmetic injectables is right for you, we can help you choose the best treatment plan. Our injectors will use their artistic eye to help you determine the best plan of action based on your lines, wrinkles, overall volume loss, and your facial structure.
What Are BOTOX for TMJ and Bruxism (grinding/clenching)? BOTOX for TMJ and Bruxism (grinding/clenching) are temporary ways to treat the signs of aging like fine lines and wrinkles without undergoing a surgical procedure. They are administered into different areas through an injection and are long-lasting ways to erase the signs of aging with minimal downtime.
What is the Neuromodulators? Neuromodulators, like Botox, are used to relax muscles and smooth out lines and wrinkles due to dynamic movements of the face.
How Much the Treatments Cost? Injectable treatments vary in cost depending on the type of injectable used, the amount used, and the area(s) treated. Dr. Alejandro will perform an assessment of your areas of concern to customize a treatment plan that will address your unique cosmetic needs and discuss the associated cost during your consultation.
What Are Neuromodulators? Injectable neuromodulators, often called anti-wrinkle injections or anti-aging injections, are products composed of botulinum toxin type A and are used to treat active wrinkles. Repeated muscle movements over time (such as forming facial expressions) lead to wrinkles being formed. Neuromodulators relax the muscles, limiting their movement and softening the wrinkles resulting in smooth, wrinkle-free skin. Botox is the first and only treatment FDA-approved to temporarily make moderate to severe frown lines, crow's feet and forehead lines look better in adults. Treatment requires minimal downtime. You can return to your daily routine immediately after you leave our office. You may begin to notice results within 24 to 48 hours for moderate to severe frown lines with full results at 2 weeks.
What is BOTOX® and How Does it Work? BOTOX® is the most popular FDA-approved neuromodulator used to treat lines and wrinkles that form from repetitive muscular activity. When injected, BOTOX® reduces muscular activity. When the muscles can no longer contract, the skin relaxes and your lines and wrinkles disappear. BOTOX® is the go-to treatment for anyone who wants to take a stand against wrinkles and fine lines. For years, it’s been the most commonly requested cosmetic treatment in America, and at Urban Allure, we know why. It’s easy, effective, and fast-acting.
Who Should Get BOTOX®? There is no magic age at which you should have treatment. In fact, younger patients are increasingly using BOTOX® as a preventative measure, choosing to have injections before wrinkles appear or deepen. The age you choose to have treatment therefore depends on your personal goals, routine facial expressions, and preferences.
Where Can It Be Used? BOTOX® is used to treat the frown lines that develop between the eyebrows, as well as forehead lines. Upon initial consultation, we can discuss your problem areas and determine if Botox is the best solution to treat your particular area of concern.
How long does BOTOX® Cosmetic last? Results from BOTOX® injections typically last 3 to 4 months. Once you notice that your results are beginning to fade, you can simply return for a follow-up treatment in order to maintain your wrinkle-free skin. If you discontinue treatment, the frown lines will gradually go back to looking like they did before treatment.
How Quickly Do You See Results from a BOTOX® Cosmetic Treatment? You could begin to notice results within a few days of your injections and you will see full results around 2 weeks.
Is treatment with BOTOX® Cosmetic painful? Discomfort is usually minimal and brief. Prior to injecting, your provider may choose to numb the area with a cold pack or anesthetic cream. The entire procedure takes can take as little as 10 minutes. Many people are in and out of the office without downtime following a BOTOX® Cosmetic treatment.
Is BOTOX® Cosmetic affordable? BOTOX® Cosmetic is one of the low-entry-cost facial aesthetic procedures in the United States. Botox is not a one-size-fits-all treatment, so cost can vary and is conducted on a per unit basis. At Urban Allure, BOTOX® Cosmetic is $12/unit with the average client receiving around 20 units per area.
Will I still be able to make facial expressions? Although the results are visible, a treatment with BOTOX® Cosmetic will not radically change your facial appearance or make you look as if you “had work done.” There is a myth that because of the way BOTOX® works, it “freezes” your face. In reality, it simply reduces muscle movement at the site of injection. And with 42 muscles in the face, you will still be able to make facial expressions. The only difference is those pesky wrinkles and fine lines will no longer be visible.
Is It Really a Lunchtime Treatment? One of the most popular aspects of BOTOX® treatment, aside from its highly effective results, is the ease with which it is administered. A typical BOTOX® treatment can be as quick as 10 minutes. You can reapply cosmetics after treatment, so if you want to bring your makeup bag, feel free to do so.
You Should Workout Before Your Appointment. It’s best to either exercise before your appointment or skip it for the day altogether. Your injection sites need to be treated with care, which means keeping them free of irritating sweat and allowing the BOTOX® to settle into place. We likewise recommend you avoid lying down or bending over for about four hours as your tissues adjust to the injectable.
Is there anything I need to tell my provider? Your doctor should know of all your medical conditions, including if you have a disease that affects your muscles and nerves (such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis – ALS or Lou Gehrig’s disease – Myasthenia Gravis or Lambert-Eaton syndrome). Tell your doctor about any and all prescription and nonprescription medicines, vitamins, and herbal products.
Dispelling Myth #1: BOTOX® Treatment Only Erases Wrinkles In addition to fading the appearance of wrinkles, some of its other uses include: - Softening the jawline - Raising mouth corners that have started to droop - Correcting chin dimpling - Lifting eyebrows - Treating migraines - Reducing sweaty palms and pits
Dispelling Myth #2: If You Stop Treatment, Wrinkles Look Worse. If you choose at any time to discontinue treatment, your fine lines and wrinkles will return to their baseline. They’ll look neither worse nor better but the same as prior to treatment. Although not permanent, BOTOX® does deliver a long-term benefit. Your wrinkles will not worsen as long as the targeted muscles remain immobile. Soft skin tissues similarly get a break so the aging process is, in effect, slowed.
After an Injectable Treatment Following a treatment session, patients will be able to return to their normal daily activities without any need for downtime or recovery time. This makes BOTOX® treatments extremely convenient, especially in comparison to surgical services, which often require weeks or even months of healing. A small degree of temporary swelling, bruising, or redness may be present at the treatment sites. Avoid scratching or rubbing the treated areas and do not apply any heat.
